Re: New Merit 1/18 DAUNTLESS DISCUSSION

UPS delivered my Dauntless a few hours ago :D Jim@Merit, you guys knocked it out of the freaking park ! By far the best 1/18 bird I have ever seen! Keep up the quality and detail and keep 'em coming Merit. This one plane could bring 1/18 back to reality. Expensive; Yes. Worth it; Hell yes! Blacksnakes

Re: A Tiger in the sandbox

Here's a quick way to have a "saggy" look on those tracks. here's what you need: Sewing needle Longnose pliers Black or dark brown thread Flip your tank over, and judge where approximately you want the track to rest on the roadwheels. Then, simply use your sewing needle and thread to tie down the t...

Re: A Tiger in the sandbox

Is there a way to tie the tracks down where it goes over the top of the wheels. Just something to pull it down so they look like they are sagging under their own weight. Other than that it's great. The background doesn't detract and appears in scale as well....Oh smoke...smoke in the back ground! D...

Re: A story we should all take a minute to read.

Snake, gouchy, and gburch. I'm glad you guys responded to my post. I really think this board needs to get focused on why are all here. Is it to enjoy the hobby? Is it to help out others when we can? I say, Yes! If not, why are we here at all?

Ram and 456 this is what I am talking about! Maybe we all need to talk about it a little more! It really gets me down reading about all the bad crap going on in the world, and then seeing it here.

A story we should all take a minute to read.

I know this should be posted in the “Good Trader Report”, but I think that with everything that has been happening here on SSHQ maybe it is time for a post about a trade with a positive outcome, and this would just get lost if I posted it there. A few weeks ago I contacted fellow member Tpa05 (John)...

Nah, keep 'em. I just took them out of the box today to send to Corey. It was then that I realized the pilot was still in the box :lol: and I have had this plane for many years :?
